INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
You, your antenna, and safety
Each year, hundreds of people are killed, mutilated, or receive severe
permanent injuries when attempting to install an antenna. In many of
these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but
did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.
For your safety and to help you achieve a good installation please
READ and FOLLOW the safety precautions below: THEY MAY SAVE
YOUR LIFE!
SITE SELECTION
Before attempting to install your antenna, think where you can best
place your antenna for safety and performance.
To determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees:
If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, STOP! GET
PROFESSIONAL HELP. Most antennas are supported by pipe masts
attached to the chimney, roof, or side of the house. Generally, the
higher the antenna is above ground, the better it will perform. Good
practice is to install your vertical antenna about 5 to 10 feet above the
roof line and away from power lines and obstructions. Remember that
the FCC limits your antenna height to 60 feet. If possible, find a
mounting place directly above your set, where the antenna wire can
take a short, vertical drop on the outside of the house for entry through
a wall or window near the set. Your dealer carries a complete line of
installation hardware.
The safe distance from power lines should be at least twice the
height of your antenna and the mast combined.
If you are installing an antenna for the first time, please, for your
own safety as well as others, seek PROFESSIONAL
ASSISTANCE. Consult your dealer. He can explain which
mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna you are
about to install.
Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in
mind. (Detailed information on the Site Selection appears in a
separate section of this booklet.) REMEMBER ELECTRIC
POWER LINES AND PHONE LINES LOOK ALIKE. FOR YOUR
SAFETY, ASSUME THAT ANY OVERHEAD LINES CAN KILL
YOU.
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask
them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small
inconvenience, considering YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE.
Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before
you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a
matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a
specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One
person should be designated as the “boss” of the operation to call
out instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
When installing your antenna, REMEMBER:
DO NOT use a metal ladder
DO NOT work on a wet or windy day
Increase your personal safety - dress properly - shoes with rubber
soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeves shirt or jacket.
If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall.
REMEMBER: antenna mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all
excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch
of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path
through the antennas and the installer - THAT’S YOU!
If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a
power line - DON’T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT
YOURSELF. CALL YOUR LOCAL POWER COMPANY. They will
remove it safely.
If an accident should occur and a victim is in contact with live
wires, DO NOT TOUCH! Move the victim away from contact by
using dry wooden boards, wood broomsticks, dry rope, sheets, or
blankets. If their breathing has ceased, apply artificial respiration.
Have someone call for medical help.
Measure the height of your antenna
Add this length to the length of your tower or mast
Then, double this total for the minimum recommended safe
distance

DIRECTIONS.
General Installation Instructions For Mast Mounted Antennas
Assemble your new antenna on the ground at the installation site.
Keep the assembly instructions that come with it separate.
On the ground, clamp the antenna to the mast, pull enough
coaxial cable, and connect it to the antenna.
To insure that a mast does not fall the “wrong way” if it should get
away during installation or takedown, durable non conductive
rope should be secured at each two foot level as the mast is
raised. The boss should stand in a position where he can yank or
pull the ropes if needed to deflect the falling mast away from
hazards (such as power lines) into a “safe fall” (such as a
driveway). The ropes are tied taut at the base of the mast after
installation and in place at the various levels.
Install the selected mounting bracket.
If you are going to use the guy wire installation instead of a
mounting bracket:
• Install guy anchor bolts
• Estimate length of guy wire and cut
• Attach a mast using guy ring
Carefully take the antenna and mast assembly to the mounting
bracket and insert. Tighten the clamp bolts. In case of guyed
installation, it will be necessary to have at least a second person
to hold the mast upright while the guy wires are attached and
tightened to the anchor bolts.
Install self-adhering “DANGER” label packed in the antenna
hardware kit at eye level on your mast.
Install a ground rod to drain off static electricity build up and
connect the ground wire to the mast and ground rod. Use special
ground rods and not a spare piece of pipe. (See “Example of
Antenna Grounding”.)
Drill a hole in the wall (CAREFUL! There are wires in that wall!)
near set just large enough to permit entry of the cable.
Push the cable through the hole and form a rain drip loop close to
where it enters the house.
Put a small amount of caulking around the cable where it enters
the house to keep out drafts.
Install static electricity discharge unit.
Connect the antenna cable to set.
For tripods, Telescoping Mast, or
Towers, refer to manufacture’s
installation instructions (Water
pipes are not a suitable mast for
antenna installations.)
There are three types of
supporting structures commonly
used in antenna installations.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS
Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8
AWG aluminum or No. 10 AWG
copper-clad steel or bronze wire or
a larger ground wire for both mast
and lead-in. Securely clamp the
wire to the bottom of the mast.
Secure lead-in wire from the
antenna to the antenna discharge
unit and the mast ground wire to
the house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4 to 6 feet (1 to 1.83
Meters) apart.
Mount the antenna discharge unit
as close as possible to where the
lead-in wire enters the house.
Suitable grounding electrode driven
8 feet into the earth (CAUTION:
Avoid underground power cables
and gas lines)

TRIPOD
ROOF MOUNTING
The swivel feature of “universal” type mounting brackets makes a
convenient antenna mount for flat or peaked roofs. One clamp type
bracket is used with 3 or 4 guy wires equally spaced around the mast
and anchored to the roof or eaves by eyebolts. Apply roofing
compound around the base of the bracket, screws and eyebolts for
moisture sealing.
The safe distance from power lines should be at least twice the
height of your antenna and the mast combined.
The safe distance from power lines should be at least twice the
height of your antenna and the mast combined.
CHIMNEY MOUNTING
The chimney is often an easy and convenient
mounting place. But the chimney must be
strong enough to support the antenna in high
winds. Do not use a chimney that has loose
bricks or mortar. A good chimney mount makes
use of a 5 to 10 foot 1-1/4” diameter steel mast,
and a heavy duty two strap clamp-type bracket.
Install the upper bracket just below the top
course of bricks, and the lower bracket 2 or 3
feet below the upper bracket. For maximum
strength, space the brackets as far apart as
possible.
Note: Guy wires are highly desirable on
chimney mounts.
SIDE OF HOUSE MOUNTING
Where roof overhang is not excessive, the side
of the house provides a convenient mounting.
Position the brackets over a stud if possible,
one above the other, and space 2 or 3 feet
apart. For metal siding, first mark mounting
holes, then drill pilot holes through the siding to
accept mounting screws.
(CAREFUL! There are wires in that wall!)
